Partners and Officers

Tim Harrington, Partner and Creative Director

Tim Harrington’s move into the hospitality arena began in 2005 when he purchased and renovated The Cottages at Cabot Cove in Kennebunkport. A long-time summer resident of Maine, Tim created Atlantic Holdings, LLC, in 2001 as a continuation of his Massachusetts real estate development and investment interests. Following critical acclaim and national media attention for Cabot Cove, the idea of Hidden Pond was conceived and 60-acres of pristine beach forest acquired, with Marc Granetz as investor. It opened in the summer of 2008, and within a year, was lauded as of the world’s best new hotels and resorts. In 2009, Tim merged Atlantic Holdings with Debbie Lennon, owner of the Kennebunkport Inn. They subsequently formed KRC and proceeded to purchase, develop and renovate properties in coveted neighborhoods of Kennebunkport. As creative director of KRC, Tim leads and inspires a team of hand-picked designers to bring a casual elegance and refined “coastal chic” vibe to each KRC assignment.
